A study of the fundamental principles of fluid dynamics as applied to a continuum. Development of the constitutive equations for a Newtonian fluid and the Navier-Stokes equations. An introduction to turbulences and the boundary layer equations. Both analytical and numerical solutions for specific flow problems will be considered. Student interests may determine some problem examples. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): ME 335 or equivalent.
